None of Your Beeswax Melt Art

This None of Your Beeswax Melt Art designed by Lisa Fulmer is a cool way to use beeswax and heat to create beautiful DIY works of art. The texture of the wax on the finished product will blow you away. A DIY melting art project is a cool craft to make because it can be used as a wall hanging or a table piece, and it does not require a huge time commitment. Using special supplies from Ranger Ink like UTEE enamel, you can find different uses of beeswax and turn them into a DIY gift idea that will melt anyone's heart.
